This is a silent, mantra-based practice that involves diving into the deepest parts of our mind, akin to sinking into the depths of an ocean. TM aims to help you access the calmest and most profound areas of your subconscious by transitioning through different brainwave states. This process allows you to reach a state of deep mental and physical relaxation, where you connect with your inherent creativity, clarity, and tranquility. 

Learn more about TM via their Introductory video, as well as how TM is different based on brainwave frequencies during meditation.

Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a practice taught by certified TM teachers in which you silently meditate with a personalized mantra for 20 minutes, twice a day—once in the morning and once in the evening. It’s a natural and effortless approach to meditation, in which the intention is not to concentrate or force the mind to quiet but to gently return to the mantra whenever distractions arise. The mantra is used to focus the mind and transcend ordinary thought processes.

Get started:

  1. Watch a Free Info Session: if you have additional questions, attend a free info session in-person at your local TM Center
  2. Book your Course: available in-person or as hybrid in-person/remote instruction classes at your local TM Center. 
    • In-Person: includes 1.5 hr sessions on 4 consecutive days for personalized one-on-one instruction & small group follow-up sessions.
    • Hybrid: visit a TM Center once for personalized one-on-one instruction, then complete the following sessions remotely.
    • Find your local TM Center 
    • Cost: The fee is based on a sliding scale, and scholarships are available upon request.

Mantra: 

  • You will receive your mantra at the first in-person session, where you will complete a questionnaire and have a personal interview. The mantras come from Sanskrit sounds from India's ancient Vedic tradition.
  • Use the mantra as more of a sound & vibration, rather than a word. 
  • If you are just getting started with meditation & are looking for guidance, this can be a good place to start. The TM teachers will talk you through the process in the info sessions, and are available for supplemental 1:1 sessions if you need additional help. 
  • The fee for training is based on a sliding scale, and scholarships are available upon request.
